Now as I've said, I haven't heard 3.33's dub yet, so I can't judge for myself how good or bad it was. But I'm inclined to believe that the dub was subpar, as insinuating that fans didn't like the dubbing of Kaworu because they can't handle gay undertones is pretty silly,...

With most Anime, at least common practice. The voice acting comes first, the animation comes second. (Thats not always the case though, some anime like Spirited Away do the opposite.) So really its the original Japanese VA's performance, and the American dubbers are just imitating the &...

The only English VA that might have any knowledge about anything would be Tiffany Grant, only because she's close friends with Yuko Miyamura and they chat regularly.

You don't want to deal with other people stay at home and watch it there. Because guess what, people laugh and react out loud to movies.

The people at the premiere were just having fun and enjoying themselves. Isn't that what entertainment (like anime) is supposed to be for?

This. I SAW the dub. It was fine. Maybe it might not have been tweaked to perfection like the Japanese version with Anno actually there and most of the cast having just lived through the Fukushima disaster to give it a deeper meaning to them, but that's just not going to be possible to do to the...

I find it really hard to believe they'd make them hold off and redo the dub purely because Misato's one line isn't as neutral as the Japanese, or because Kaworu sounds kind of gay in one scene (the yaoi fans will see it as gay regardless and I'm pretty sure the staff knows this&#...

IIRC, the main grip against Kaworu's English VA was that he was flat-out hitting on Shinji instead of the subtlety of the Japanese version that conveyed mainly a deep admiration for Shinji with a possible undertone of Ho Yay. Again problem is, it's not really possible to convey the Japanese...

I think it's so they could show promotional material while still keeping the timeskip a secret. Asuka in space was the big thing they loved to show off and if she was obviously much older, well there you go. Also for the first time viewers since they had the "brilliant" idea to keep th...

I think that Jimbob's problem is that 3.0 isn't a movie that stands really well on its own, it's painfully obvious that we're missing a big chunk of the general picture and that most of what we saw in Q was just a preparation for what's to come, which can be very frustrating to ...

I get that 3.0 can come off as genius depending on how Final turns out, but I'm not going to just patiently wait and twiddle my thumbs for 3 years for it. Sorry I refuse to be that obedient and I think Anno expecting people to just sit tight for literally a few years is asking too much of his au...

I honestly wasn't that thrilled with 3.0 to be honest. But I was never into Eva as Eva, I'm just here for the robots and gadgets and characters for SRW. Never could get into or identify with the psychological stuff at all. Guess I'm too happy and well adjusted a person. That said I was n...

My biggest problem with Rebuild Gendo is him pulling a fast one on both Seele and Kaworu, and getting flawless results in what he wants. Considering a big part of tv and EoE was Gendo's dickishness coming to bite him and showing that he wasn't nearly as in control and slick as he thought he ...

It's not about tone. It's about the dialogue itself. Specifically how English is very direct compared to Japanese. Translating Kaworu's waxing poetical about how he likes Shinji into English is going to sound gay. No two ways about it. His voice may not help, but Kaworu could be voiced b...

I saw that dub. And there was really nothing more they could do to it. If they didn't have a problem with Spencer's Shinji in 1.0 and 2.0 they won't have a problem now, and no amount of rewriting is going to make Kaworu's dialogue any less homoerotic sounding in the english language ...

Those sound like lies considering it was fully dubbed and being shown in special presentations as early as last October at NYCC.

I typically use JP to shorten Japanese without making it look like the slur. People seem to be fine with that.

Eyepatch Asuka is definitely coming (again, losing Asuka is the canonical choice, as shown in the bonus scenario. Plus you lose her in 2/3 routes anyway.) Rei 2 is dead meat next game as well, which is a shame because she got some nice interaction with the other characters here. But Z has pe...

I'm actually very surprised that Shikinami is never shown pulling rank or trying to pull rank on anyone. It wouldn't be out of character for her as a method of getting what she wants...but it never happens. In 2.0 that's impossible. She's a Captain in the EU Airforce, not Nerv. She ...
